Winter Walleye Fishing Tips

February 25, 2021 By DeDee

Walleye can generally be found deep within rivers and eddies in the winter, where there is a reduced current. Some of the best places to catch them are near warm water discharges such as power and water treatment facilities.

However, walleye slow down their movement tremendously in the winter, conserving their energy for food gathering and flight risks. For that reason, you may have to get your bait directly in front of the fish before they bite.

Here are great tips we gathered from Game & Fish, Reel Adventure Fishing, and BestFishinginAmerica.com.

Winter Walleye Checklist

Before you plan your expedition, consider the following factors:

What will be the temperature on that day?
What time of day will you be fishing?
Are you going to a lake or a river?
What is the depth of the water?
What are the general feeding habits of the walleye in that water?

You may need to check in with the local fish and tackle shop, do some research on the internet, or speak to other walleye fishers that have recently been to the area.

Remember, the water will be clear this time of year because aquatic life is dormant. Therefore, use a clear fishing line, drop it down vertically and very slowly. Please keep in mind that the walleye are bottom-oriented fish, so that they will be only a few feet above the bottom.

Because you will have to go deep and due to the low light of winter skies, use lures that stand out. Use one that glows, rattles, or vibrates – this can include crankbaits, jerk baits, and blade baits.

A walleye’s diet consists of smaller fish, so minnows, nightcrawlers, and leeches make for the best bait. Minnows should be 3-5 inches long.

Lastly, don’t forget to have the right winter outwear, including waterproof hat, gloves, coat, and boots so you can stay on the water much longer.

Turn On Deck or Cabin Lights With One-Click

March 17, 2018 By Jim Schilens

Remote Boat Locking System Lighting Feature

What’s worse than returning to your boat at night and having to fumble around to turn on the lights?

In the process, you probably stepped on something and broke it. This is a common complaint among boaters and especially professional fishermen.

That’s where the Key Captain remote boat locking system for your boat’s storage compartments comes in. Not only does it offer the convenience to lock your boat with one-click, but it also allows you to do the same with your deck or cabin lights.

Think about it.

If you have 8,10, 12 or even more compartments, it becomes increasing more beneficial to you to lock them all at once, providing a sense security.

Tamper-Proof Control Panel

The system’s control panel is a permanently sealed and tamper-proof unit with a coding technique that protect it from unwanted interference. The transmitters are designed for marine use. Additional transmitters are available that can be added and programmed by the user. The system’s unique sleep mode results in low power energy saving operation, which saves battery life.

The Key Captain Customizable System can also control the engine trim up and down with the touch of a button. You can use another button to turn on and off the boat lights, radio, bilge blower, and air conditioning from up to 300 feet away, before you board. This ensures that your boat will be cool on a hot day and the cabin lights on at night when you return to it.
